Psychosocial support services are integrated into wider primary and public health services provided to Rohingya refugees through the AHP Rohingya refugee response.
Farhana Tabassom is a Psychosocial Support Officer with Save the Children in Bangladesh where she is support Rohingya refugees in the camps in Coxs Bazar to deal with the trauma of leaving Myanmar and the day-to-day challenges of living in the camps.
Below is Farhana's insights into the challenges faced by the Rohingya.
"There are two main challenges that people are facing. Firstly, they worry about how to feed their children. They are provided rice, oil and lentils by the NGOS, but it is sometimes not enough. They worry about how to get fish or other forms of protein and vegetables for their children.
Secondly, the emotions about Myanmar are very strong. They want to go home. They worry and wonder if their land is still there, if their relatives are safe.
A lot of people lost family - their siblings, their parents, their sons and their daughters. they think about this loss and can get very distressed.
They have also faced violence that they cannot forget.
We provide them with coping strategies. But most importantly we listen actively and we are very respectful when we are listening. When so many people are distressed, they are not able to listen to each other as hearing the traumatic events experienced by others only adds to their stress.
Through the psychosocial services we refer serious cases to health professionals such as psychiatrists. We also refer any identified medical cases to the health centre.
Some of the coping mechanisms we offer include asking people what they like to do. For example, some people like praying, playing with their children or gardening. These activities bring them feelings of peace or happiness. So one coping mechanisms is to engage in these activities.
Gardening has proven a positive activity to engage in for many. There is not a lot of space in the camp, but people are planting small gardens around their shelters. This is not only an activity they enjoy, but it brings them outside and they begin to interact with those staying near them.
We cannot say that the trauma is lessening, and there is so much uncertainty being experienced by the Rohingya currently. We can say that their are strategies and health services being offered that can support people in distress and in need of care."
Help support Youth Sports around South Rowan and and surrounding counties by supporting Rick Houston's Golf Club Raffle. Rick lets South's teams practice and play their matches for free on his course. It is a nice course and a first class club house! Wanted to tell you about the reverse raffle we are hosting on Sat Feb 28th. The proceeds are going to South Rowan Golf, but will benefit many other area youth if I may explain. For the past 15 years, WGC has welcomed South's boys and girls teams to practice and play their matches for free. There has never been a charge for any team competing against them either. Salisbury High, West Girls, Catawba Men, Phieffer men, Davidson men, and China Grove Middle have also enjoyed using the facility from time to time for no charge. WGC believes our youth need as many outlets as possible to escape the virtual world they are raised in by exercising and enjoying the environment on a daily basis. Tickets are $100 each and only 200 will be sold. There will be 15 winners with $5k as the grand prize. A dinner will be held before the drawing with HA Thompson as the M.C.

On the way to the hotel in Delhi, we stopped near India Gate to see the peaceful protests in support of Mr. Anna Hazare and his fast and fight against corruption. He has ended his fast, but I doubt the corruption is over. It never is.
